Why is physical education important in schools?

Answer 1

(From My Assignment... Enjoy!)

PE (or Physical Education) is one of the most popular activities in the world. It is generally held as a class, and is used to provide students physical activity, using a range of sports and activities. It also teaches students how to become fit and active while having fun.

Physical Education is being taught all around the world. In Australia, it is compulsory for students to take PE in primary school and in some high schools, but otherwise it isn't a compulsory subject. It is an option in most schools, but many people (especially girls) choose to drop the subject. Many say it's due to the fact that people are concentrating on the studies in other classes, and just don't have time to take it.

PE includes many different activities to help get fit and active, including warm ups, proper sports and modified games. All activities are fun and give you lots of energy for other things so you don't feel bored.

In the end, PE is good for you because it keeps you fit and active while having fun at the same time!

Another reason to be added to the really good reason above:

When I went to school many years ago, we had to take PE all the way through High School. Now it is not mandatory in many schools in the US after the 6th grade. Look around you and see what kind of shape people are in today. Kids are not going outside and playing games as much anymore. They are busy with Video Games and TV. PE in school at least gives them some amount of exercise. As the person said above, it teaches students how to be fit. So get off your computer and go outside and play.

Another Reason Added to the 2 really good reasons above:

Also student may not know many sports and it can teach you a couple of new ones that you may enjoy and maybe it may inspire a student to get a job as a (example) basket baller, footballer, etc and 1 more thing talk to a guy up there um I don't care what he says and I'm still in school and my favorite topic is P.E. so Infact now he know 1 girl that would never drop P.E.

Answer 4

Becasue child obessity is a very important issue in America and P.E. is ment to help the issue decrease. P.E. also teaches children how to play sports and inspires them. Without P.E. child obessity would be even more wide spread, kids wouldn't find their hidden sports talent, and they wouldn't be inspired. Easy as that.

Because alot of kids do not get the proper exercise that they should be getting, alot of students just go home and hang out and eat or they play video games. P.E. gives the exercise that kids need to stay decently healthy
